Subfolio Basic Setup

Quick Start

Things you most likely want to do…

Define the name and URL

• Go to: /config/settings/settings.yml and do your thing.
• Name is used in the page header and the HTML title
• URL is used in the “breadcrumb” navigation

Add your logo

• Put your logo here: /config/themes/default/images/logos/
• Go to: /config/themes/default/options.yml and adjust the file name, if needed
• Alternatively, you can link directly to an external image

Or use a text-only logo

• Go to: /config/themes/default/options.yml
• Add a “#” in front of the logo line of code
• Example: # site_logo_url: /config/themes/default/images/logos/logo.png
• The name (described above) will be used

Remove these demo files

• First download these demo files locally so that you can reference them later
• Then remove them before you deploy your Subfolio

And a few fast tips…

Embedding text and images into the page

To the beginning of any text or image file name:

• Append –t– to embed at the top of the page
• Append –m– to embed at the middle of the page
• Append –b– to embed at the bottom of the page

Hiding content

• Put a dash at the start of a file or folder name and it will disappear from the listing
• You can still access hidden content directly via URL
• It’s a nice way to work on a part of your Subfolio in private (just remove the dash when you are done)

For clean URL’s, don’t use spaces in filenames

• Subfolio will replace all underscores (or dashes) with a space on the interface
• To turn this off, or to use dashes instead, go to: /config/themes/default/options.yml
• And of course, feel free to use spaces if you want

Explore the possibilities…

Dig around

Most everything should be pretty self explanatory. Check out the /config/ folder, its loaded with settings that allow you to customize and personalize Subfolio with no development skills. For example, see what you can do with this file: /config/themes/default/options.yml … and you’re on your way.

Read the documentation
